Ka Poipoia
Rob Ruha
Ka poipoia ahau
I te pō marino e
Te korowai o Te Atua
O taku whare okioki
Tērā ngā whetū kōrikoriko,
Te marama tai ahoaho
Hei hoa mōku i te poho
o taku whare okioki
Te kapua i Te Ikaroa,
Mōku mō aku takahanga
Hei hoa mōku i te poho
o taku whare okioki
English translation
I rest in the calm, still night.
The stars and the sky
act as the cloak of God
and becomes my place of rest.
The sparkling stars are out
so is the full moon.
They become my companions
in my house of rest.
The clouds in the milkyway
are showing me my pathway.
They become my companions
in my house of rest.
